[Bug 951929] Re: Unity launcher and Alt-Tab switcher missing entry for gnome-terminal

 

Can't say for sure if it's a problem any more or not.  I've long since
given up on Unity, in no small part due to this bug.  The response on
the bug report did little to convince me it was worth continuing to use
it either.  A whole bunch of people experiencing it, and the bug just
constantly being punted off to the next milestone.

Title:
  Unity launcher and Alt-Tab switcher missing entry for gnome-terminal

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  edit: Updated title, its affecting more than gnome-terminal

  1) Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
  Release:	12.04

  2) unity:
    Installed: 5.4.0-0ubuntu2

  3) Gnome-Terminal to show in list of programs to alt+tab to.

  4)  Alt+Tab consistently fails to show gnome-terminal for 'a while' (I
  hate to be vague, I can't figure out what suddenly triggers it to
  appear in the box).  See attached photograph of it occurring.

  I can make it happen at will:

  1) Cold boot into Ubuntu.
  2) Open gnome-terminal.
  3) Open Firefox.
  4) Press alt+tab.  alt+tab window only shows Desktop and Firefox.

  In attached screenshot, note that gnome-terminal has a highlighted
  background and arrow, indicating an instance of it running, as is
  Firefox.
